Here is a very quick magic moment for the Holiday Bank Monday. There may be an occasion when you have created some pages in your blog and you will want to hide them. All you need to do is to change them to draft status.

Open up the page you wish to hide as if to edit it, and go to the Publish menu at the top right hand corner:

You’ll see that the status is ‘Published’, and next to it is an ‘Edit‘ link.  Click on the link:

It will open up as a drop down menu. Click on it to reveal all its contents:

Select ‘Draft’ and click on the ‘OK’ button:

And don’t forget to click on the ‘Update’ button to confirm your changes. Now when you go into your blog you will see that this particular page is now not visible.

To reverse the situation, go through the procedure and select ‘published’ again.

Oh my goodness, everything’s changed!

I’ve been watching the new developments of WordPress.com recently, as they dramatically update and change the existing blogging platform they offer. This means, of course, that I need to update all my existing e-courses, and create new ones to accommodate all the new features they have in place – ah, happy days!

So over the coming weeks I’ve got my work cut out, which is probably a good thing. I was going to put all I know into a series of books, and it’s not a good idea to fill it with old stuff when there is a brand new version ready and waiting to be explored!

During this time I’ll also review how I explain the processes of blogging, to make it compatible to as many people as possible, and this is where you guys can help out. I need as many queries as possible about existing and new developments in WordPress.com (and I will find out whether the newest version of WordPress.org contains these new features after I’ve updated), so I can find out the answers and provide a coherent and user-friendly e-course or blog post to explain everything!

I rely on my readers and followers to point out things I have missed or overseen. I do try to cover every little thing about using WordPress, but it’s amazing how much I don’t notice, or assume is unimportant, when actually it has been troubling someone or preventing another from progressing further. Help me by telling me everything you want to know, and I will do my best to answer – just click on my logo in this post to send me an email – and get your friends and colleagues to participate too, the more the merrier!
